The stakes are high, with the latest numbered titles (sans FF7 remake) not reaching the dizzying heights that many of their predecessors did once upon a time. The franchise is in need of a hit, something special to re-ignite the flame and usher in a new, better era for Final Fantasy. Could FFXVI be that game? Let's find out. Early signs are strong but it'll be a long road...

Our story begins with Clive, a soldier who is part of a squad tasked with capturing the person who wields the power of Shiva. In Valisthea, the entities we know as Summons are now called Eikons, each with their own "Dominant"; someone who has the ability to unleash the full form and power of these incredibly powerful beings. Clive has some special abilities of his own, oweing to his lineage and his sacred role of protecting his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant for the Eikon Phoenix.

We will see Clive's current story and then play an extensive flashback chapter in which we come to understand Clive's narrative better and the shocking events that lead him to where he is today. The world is of course on the brink of disaster, with a deadly blight spreading across the lands and warring nations keen to seize power with the might of their Eikons. The Mothercrystals, much like the crystals of the old Final Fantasies hold the power needed for these kingdoms to survive and prosper. So we will be going on a journey of personal redemption and revenge against this backdrop of a warring world on the brink. We will be meeting many other dominants and eikons along the way, some friend, some foe.
